TO ALLWHOM IT MAY CONGERN;

Be it known that I, SAMUEL GISSINGER, o f Lawrenceville, in the county of Allegheny, and State of Penn- Sylvania; have invented a new and useful Improvement in.Squeezers used in the manufacture of iron; and

I do hereby declare that the following is a'full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in so constructing squeezers used in the manufacture of iron, that they will serve the double purpose of sgueezerand muck-rolls, said squeezer being constructed, arranged, and operating in the manner hereinafter described.l

To enable others skilled in tbe art to make and use iny invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation. In tbe accompanying drawings, which forms -part of my specification- Figure 1 is a top view of my improvement in squeezers.

Figure 2 is a transverse section of the same at line x.

In the drawings, Arepresents a stationary jaw of'cast iron, and is provided with guides marked C. 'This jaw should be made very heavy and strong, and well'secured on a strong and solid foundation. The'moving jawB is also made of cast iron, and should be-made heavy and of great strength. Thejaw B is fitted to the guides C of the jaw A. The jaws A and B are provided with grooves or corrugations markede, which gradually diminish in size and depth from top to bottom of the jaws. The space z, between the jaws, is V-shaped.

The operating mechanism is attached to the arm D of the jaw B, and is arranged so as to impart a\recipro eating motion to jaw B. Motion being imparted to jaw B, the ball of puddled iron isthrowninto the space x1, and the motion oi' the jaw B and the gravity ofthe ball of puddled iron will compress and roll the iron out into long bars, the diameter of which will correspond to the width of the opening azz at the bottom of the jaws. The barsoi' compressed and rolled iron drop into a suitable pit made directly under thespace x1, between the jaws. I

Havingthus described the nature, construction, and operation of my improvcment,what I claim as of my invention, is

The corrugated jaws A.' and B, constructed, arranged, and operating substantially as hereindescrihed and for the purpose set forth.v i
